A blackboard system is an artificial intelligence application based on the blackboard architectural model, where a common knowledge base, the “blackboard”, is iteratively updated by a diverse… Read more “Blackboard System”

In artificial intelligence, artificial immune systems (AIS) are a class of computationally intelligent systems inspired by the principles and processes of the vertebrate immune system. The algorithms… Read more “Artificial Immune Systems”

Bio-inspired computing, short for biologically inspired computing, is a field of study that loosely knits together subfields related to the topics of connectionism, social behaviour and emergence.… Read more “Bio-inspired Computing”

A Bayesian network, Bayes network, belief network, Bayes(ian) model or probabilistic directed acyclic graphical model is a probabilistic graphical model (a type of statistical model) that represents… Read more “Bayesian Network”

Backward chaining (or backward reasoning) is an inference method that can be described (in lay terms) as working backward from the goal(s). It is used in automated… Read more “Backward Chaining”

Autonomic Networking follows the concept of Autonomic Computing, an initiative started by IBM in 2001. Its ultimate aim is to create self-managing networks to overcome the rapidly… Read more “Autonomic Networking”

Autonomic computing refers to the self-managing characteristics of distributed computing resources, adapting to unpredictable changes while hiding intrinsic complexity to operators and users. Started by IBM in… Read more “Autonomic Computing”

Automated reasoning is an area of computer science and mathematical logic dedicated to understanding different aspects of reasoning. The study of automated reasoning helps produce computer programs… Read more “Automated Reasoning”

In algorithmic information theory, algorithmic (Solomonoff) probability is a mathematical method of assigning a prior probability to a given observation. In a theoretic sense, the prior is… Read more “Algorithmic Probability”

Control theory, the grandchild of cybernetics, has many important applications, especially in robotics. Intelligent control is a class of control techniques that use various AI computing approaches… Read more “Intelligent control”
